It started with a simple interview with DJ Whoo Kid, where Waka Flocka, protégée of Gucci Mane, chimed in on rappers with a penchant for lyrics.

“The n***a that everybody [feels] is lyrical, they ain’t got no shows. I don’t even care about selling records. As long as I get them shows for $15,000, four to five days out the week, I’m happy, he said.

The statement raised the ire of a number of artists and fans, but the loudest voice seemed to be that of Method Man, one of Wu Tangs finest. In an interview at Sirius satellite radio, he vented.

“It’s all good. He has the right to his own mother**king opinion. Let him feel that way, but the people that are in the know, that know what time it is, know that if you ain’t saying s**t out your mouth, your time is very slim in this mother**kin game.”

AllHipHop.com talked with Waka Flocka, who explained his feelings about Meth, from growing up on the Shaolin wordsmith to the present day.
